Desk organizer unit

Abstract

A vertically movable desk organizer unit, mounted at the front end of a desk, having pivotable trays and bins. A compartmentalized storage center which may be raised and lowered is provided, having rotatable, coverable trays, tiltable bins, and other receptacles for office stationary. When the organizer is in the raised position, the trays and bins pivot towards the desk surface, permitting easy access; when the unit is being lowered to a position flush with the desk surface, the trays and bins are vertically pivoted, thereby ensuing a minimum of depth requirement for the unit beyond the end of the desk.
